Claimed [[horsepower]] was 62.63 HP (46.7 KW) @ 9500 RPM. | |||
== History == | |||
Early production models were flawed with poor braking and carburetion glitches. | |||
Three slightly different models were produced: the European model, with dual front braking discs, the 1982 US model (RJ), with a single disc and the 1983 US model (RK), with dual discs and a fairing. The models also use different sparkplugs and front forks. | Three slightly different models were produced: the European model, with dual front braking discs, the 1982 US model (RJ), with a single disc and the 1983 US model (RK), with dual discs and a fairing.

The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 80.0mm [[bore]] x 55.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 553.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). | |||
